Pus on the right side of toenail

Question

Asked for Male, 25 Years

It's been a month that I pulled my toenail while I was cutting it.. since it was growing inside I pulled it from its root and then it bleeded a little bit. I applied dettol on it and cleaned it. The next day when I woke up I had a wound with pus and boil. I went to the doctor 3 times during the last month it seems to be much better now but it's not healing completely. Everyday pus comes back and it discharges and I have to clean it.
